🔥 wildfires are becoming increasingly dangerous, and staying informed is crucial for your safety! Introducing Watch Duty, the ultimate wildfire mapping and alert app that puts real-time, reliable information directly into your hands. 🗺️ Unlike other apps that rely on delayed government alerts, Watch Duty is powered by a dedicated team of real people – including active and retired firefighters, dispatchers, and first responders – who monitor radio scanners 24/7. 🚒 This means you get up-to-the-minute, vetted information that can truly save lives. 🚨

Imagine having instant push notifications about wildfires near you and the firefighting efforts underway. Watch Duty provides exactly that, along with continuous updates as conditions evolve. 💨 See active fire perimeters and track their progress, view infrared satellite hotspots from VIIRS and MODIS, and even monitor wind speed and direction to understand how fires might spread. 🛰️ Planning your route or need to know evacuation orders and shelter information? Watch Duty has you covered, offering clear, concise details to help you make informed decisions. 🏠

For those who want to stay ahead of the curve, Watch Duty also includes historical wildfire perimeters, allowing you to see past fire activity. Navigate easily with both street and satellite maps, and keep track of aerial firefighting operations with the air attack and air tanker flight tracker. ✈️ Plus, save your important locations for quick access on the map, ensuring you’re always prepared. 📍

What sets Watch Duty apart is its commitment to its mission. As a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, the service remains completely free of charge, with no advertising or sponsorships to distract you. 🙏 You can support their vital work with an optional $25/year membership, which unlocks special features as a thank you for your contribution. 💖

Watch Duty is not affiliated with any government agency, but it diligently sources information from trusted, publicly available data, including government agencies, radio transmissions, and satellite data from organizations like NOAA, NIFC, CAL FIRE, and Cal OES. 📊 Get the most accurate and timely wildfire information possible and prioritize your safety with Watch Duty!
